SUMMARY:The Power of Words | Panel Discussion with Civic Leaders
DESCRIPTION:Change\, unity and non-violence are core beliefs Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. and President John F. Kennedy both shared. How does the power of their words spoken over half a century ago – and their respective calls to action which inspired so much hope to make positive change in communities across the nation – still resonate today? \nJoin our panelists in a discussion moderated by Elyze Davis\, J.D.\, Museum Education Program Specialist\, to unravel the power of words and how these two historical leaders continue to influence and inspire the world we live in today\, and why they matter. \nThis program discusses President John F.

SUMMARY:A New Kennedy: John F. Kennedy and Civil Rights 1960-1963 Virtual Lecture
DESCRIPTION:In the November 1964 issue of LOOK magazine\, Martin Luther King\, Jr. reflected on John Kennedy one year after his assassination. In the interview\, King marveled at President Kennedy’s capacity to listen\, learn and grow. He mused that “there were\, in fact\, two John Kennedys. One presided in the first two years under pressure of the uncertainty caused by his razor-thin margin of victory. In 1963 a new Kennedy had emerged…. He was\, at his death\, undergoing a transformation from a hesitant leader with unsure goals to a strong figure with deeply appealing objectives.” \nJoin Dr. Sharron Wilkins Conrad\, Postdoctoral Fellow at Southern Methodist University’s Center for Presidential History\, as she documents how African Americans—initially dubious about his commitment—were won over by the candidate’s optimism and by the symbolic steps he took to demonstrate his sincerity. For black voters\, Kennedy’s transformation served as belated fulfillment of his political obligation for their help securing his narrow election victory. The assassination of the “New Kennedy” hit African Americans particularly hard\, largely because black mourners believed that this new President Kennedy embodied their hopes and was killed as a result. \n  \nNote:   This program will be offered through Zoom. The program is free\, but registration is required. To register\, visit http://www.bit.ly/TSFMNewKennedy \n  \nProgram format: Lecture with question and answer session at the end. \n

SUMMARY:Three Hours in Dallas: Film Premiere with Live Musical Score
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the world premiere of “Three Hours in Dallas\,” an original musical composition scored to accompany an all-new compilation of historic motorcade film footage. Written by award-winning composer Jesus Martinez and performed by a percussion ensemble from Arlington’s Sam Houston High School\, this unique immersive experience exemplifies President Kennedy’s affinity for the arts.\n  \nLinking the arts to the historic events of November 22\, 1963\, this cross-generational project spans 56 years. The composer was born in 1987\, and the performers were born in the early 2000s. The film score is meant to link sound effects and synchronized sound to specific scenes that will captivate the audience and create the sensation of personally witnessing the events of November 22\, 1963. As President Kennedy himself said\, “We must never forget…that art is not a form of propaganda…it is a form of truth.”\n  \nWith a master’s degree in Music Composition from Southern Methodist University and a bachelor’s degree in Music Education from University of Texas at Arlington\, Jesus Martinez has served as Composer-in-Residence for both the Alabama Orchestra Association and the Irving Symphony Orchestra. While at SMU\, he studied primarily with composer Dr. Robert Frank and developed a special interest in film scoring and new music ensembles. \n  \nMartinez was commissioned to score the film “Mystery of Birds\,” which premiered in Houston in 2011 and was selected to screen at the Los Angeles Black Film Festival. In 2012\, the film won the African Movie Academy Award for Best Film by an African Living Abroad. Also in 2011\, Martinez presented his 34-minute world premiere of “Threnody for 9/11 for Mixed Chamber Ensemble\,” which received accolades in Texas print and broadcast media and a resolution in his name issued by the Texas State Legislature. Martinez scored the 2013 film “Take the Spotlight\,” which premiered at four film festivals in Texas\, Arkansas and Georgia\, winning awards for best film and best director. \n  \nMost recently\, Martinez composed “The Sixth Floor\,” which premiered at the 30th anniversary of The Sixth Floor Museum on February 18\, 2019.

SUMMARY:Toward a Psychological Understanding of Lee Oswald\, Assassin
DESCRIPTION:While many over the years have pondered Oswald’s motive\, clinical psychologist Dr. Gene Riddle took a different tack – analyzing how Oswald became a person capable of assassinating a president. Over the course of six years\, Dr. Riddle conducted an in-depth study of Lee Harvey Oswald as part of a book-length project for the Professional School of Psychology in Sacramento. \nDr. Gene Riddle was in the fall term of his senior year at a county high school just outside Washington D.C. at the time of the deaths of John Kennedy\, J. D. Tippit\, and Lee Harvey Oswald. A licensed clinical psychologist in California\, with a 1997 PhD from the San Francisco campus of the Professional School of Psychology\, Riddle became fascinated with the psyche of Lee Harvey Oswald and spent more than six years compiling a professional book-length study of him. \nPrior to entering the mental health profession\, Dr. Riddle attained BA and MA degrees in Political Science and taught undergraduate political science courses at the University of Colorado\, Denver.

SUMMARY:The Last Days of Lee Harvey Oswald: A Conversation with Ruth Paine
DESCRIPTION:Thrust overnight into the center of an international tragedy\, Ruth Paine still ponders a different outcome if she’d known Lee Harvey Oswald had stashed a rifle in her garage. For the first time ever\, Ruth shared her story at the Museum\, joining Curator Stephen Fagin in conversation as she reflected on her friendship with Marina Oswald and how the legacy of the Kennedy assassination continues to impact her life. \nA housewife living in Irving\, Texas\, Ruth Paine met Lee and Marina Oswald at a party in February 1963. Seven months later\, when the Oswald marriage began to falter\, Marina and her children moved into Ruth’s home. As a Quaker\, Paine was opposed to weapons\, and it wasn’t until the afternoon of November 22\, 1963 that she learned Oswald had hidden his rifle in her garage. Paine’s friendship with Marina and her proximity to Lee has placed her at the heart of this historic event; the aftermath of the events of 1963 still affect her today. In 2009\, the City of Irving purchased her former home and restored it to its 1963 appearance\, where it is now open to the public as a historic museum. View this program on YouTube.

SUMMARY:Deep South Dispatch: Memoir of a Civil Rights Journalist
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in the South during a time when racial segregation was the norm\, former New York Times journalist John N. Herbers witnessed and covered landmark civil rights uprisings that rocked the country\, the world and his own conscience. A leading civil rights journalist for more than a decade\, Herbers wrote from behind the front lines\, risking his own personal safety to bring awareness to the nation of the injustices and violence inflicted on African Americans. \nOn October 4\, Herbers’ daughter\, Washington journalist Anne Farris Rosen\, discussed Deep South Dispatch: Memoir of a Civil Rights Journalist\, the book she co-wrote with her father. This memoir provides riveting details about watershed events in the civil rights movement — the execution of Willie McGee\, murder trial of Emmett Till\, assassination of President John F.

SUMMARY:70 Years of Texas Television: An Evening with Bobbie Wygant
DESCRIPTION:Bobbie Wygant joined Texas’ first television station\, WBAP-TV\, in 1948\, two weeks before it went on the air. During her remarkable and trailblazing career\, spanning seventy years in broadcasting\, Wygant interviewed thousands of notable entertainers and celebrities from Bette Davis to Charley Pride to Bradley Cooper. In 1960\, she became the first woman in the southwest to host and produce a general interest talk show. Her popular midday program\, Dateline\, was live on the air when news broke of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22\, 1963—which was also Wygant’s birthday. \nThis special program included a wine reception\, complimentary parking and admission to the Museum’s temporary exhibit 55 Years\, an installation of magazine covers featuring President Kennedy from 1963 to 2018. While President Kennedy’s image and influence have continued to be the focus of magazine articles over the years\, 55 Years visually conveys how the symbolic memorialization of the 35th president has evolved over time.

SUMMARY:The Power of the Magazine Cover: Yesterday\, Today and Tomorrow
DESCRIPTION:Successful American leaders have always understood\, respected — and sometimes feared — the power of the media in shaping and shifting public opinions and perceptions. For more than a hundred years\, magazine publishers and politicians have had a symbiotic relationship. From Lincoln to Kennedy and beyond\, an American president’s appearance on a magazine cover has generated increased sales and readership for the publication and heightened public awareness of the president’s platform and policies. \n  \nOn Monday\, March 25\, the Museum presented The Power of the Magazine Cover: Yesterday\, Today and Tomorrow with Dr. Samir Husni. Known as Mr. Magazine™ and regarded as one of the nation’s foremost experts on print journalism\, Dr. Husni took us on a journey through the history of American magazines\, including the role magazine covers played in cementing the enduring mystique and legacy of President Kennedy. Perhaps the most photographed American president in history\, President Kennedy appeared on magazine covers throughout his lifetime and over the past fifty-five years since his death. \n  \nThis special program included admission to the Museum’s temporary exhibit 55 Years\, an installation of magazine covers featuring President Kennedy from 1963 to 2018. While President Kennedy’s image and influence have continued to be the focus of magazine articles over the years\, 55 Years visually conveys how the symbolic memorialization of the 35th president has evolved over time. View this program on YouTube.
